Oh, one more thing, I have heard it mentioned here that Diamond VLB boards automatically configure themselves for VLB and don't need any type of drivers to work. Is this a unique feature of the Diamond boards (since they were on the VESA committee) or do other types of boards have to have drivers to run correctly? If so, then how does this work? Is the driver set up when the computer is started so that all graphically based programs can take advantage of the board's features (like the enhanced VESA modes of certain cards)? Also, is there any way to turn the acceleration off? If I am playing a game with a DOS graphics accelerator and it is too fast, can I turn the accelerator off to get the game down to "normal" speeds? Thanx mucho!
